Today was a wonderful day because it is St Patrick’s day and we got to go to the Due Drop Events center to have the best time of our lives. When we arrived at the Due Drop Events center we waited inside for 10 minutes before the dance teachers came out and introduced themselves and did a little prayer to start us off for the day. Before we went into the theaters they took us outside and showed us a poe with different animals and people on it like Kupe, he was on the top and animals like owls, lizards and even a whale. They told us that the wood that was used to build the statue was 5,000 years old! We went back inside and went into the four wind theaters. To get started we did a dance where you would repeat the moves they did for warm up. To get started on the actual thing we did dance moves representing some of the Maori Gods like the God of the sea, the God of the wind, and more. We had morning tea after all the dancing and movement and everyone was hungry but I like to think they had fun. After morning tea we came back inside and did this game where you dance and move while the lively, lovely music blasts through the theater. And when the music stops you freeze and they tell how many people in a group and what shape is like a group of three and the shape is a house. That was super exciting everyone had fun and laughter filled the theater and everything was awesome. After that exciting game we played this game where someone says the name of the animal and we had to act like the animal that was fun. When that was done we had to do a dance and did all of our dances at the end of the day. When everyone finished their dance we had to perform it in front of the other groups and my group went first. After all the groups finished their dance we did a prayer before going back onto the bus and going back to school.
